Joe, although hitherto one Of orr
leading merchants, has now but fairly
became one of our permanent citizens
with the charms of home-life as an aid
to his indomitable enterprise.
On the coming Monday and Tues
day, the Sd and 4th prox., will occur
one OF the grandest affairs ever wit
messed IN this place, namely: the long
looked-for Fall opening at Toklas &
kaufman's. This establishment has
been draped elegantly and when COM
plete will present a brilliant and daz-
zilng appearance, especially in the
evening when the Is gas lets will be
turned on full, and the Juvenile Brass
Band be in attendance.
The people are to be congratulated
upon the favorable terms which COM
petition have secured in the construc-
ton OF the extension to Main street
wharf. Mr.. Geiger, the successful
bidder for piles, driving and Gaping,
agrees to have his contract completed
In three weeks from next Monday,
and Messrs. Forbes and Hager will be
ready to complete their contract for
laying the stringers and planking with
equal expedition. 1t is safe to say
that the end of October will find the
work about completed.
Clarence Clarresey died, on Tuesday
last, at St. Peters hospital, of injuries
received at a logging camp, near Shell
ton, his leg at and below the knee be-
ing extensively crushed and mutilated,
exposing the entire knee joint, and
crushing to II pulp the leg below. The
case involved amputation, as the
only possible chance for life, but he
did not rally from the shock, loss of
blood and a long and tiresome journey
to the hospital. The operation was
performed, Monday, above the knee,
by DR.. Newell, assisted by DIR. Riley.
What has become of the Thurston
county fair, projected by an organiza-
ton formed for the express purpose of
giving an exhibit this fall? A thousand
dollars WAS raised for putting the ex-
cellent grounds and buildings of the
former organization in proper repair,
and our people have many products
which but await an announcement, to
be brought forth to astonish and
delight the beholder, but the project
seems to slumber as peacefully as
Pharaoh and his hosts, after they were
submerged by the remorseless waves.
The result is that some of our intended
Exhibitors will send their products to
9he Mechanics Fair, in Portland
which opens next Thurday.
In performing an operation on a pa
tent few days ago, DR.. Riley was
severely tainted with blood poison
which entered the circulation of his
arm from slight abrasure of the Skin
on his hand. A pricking sensation
along the nerves was the first warning
of impending danger. The DOCTOR
method of dealing with it, was quito al
active and determined as ever befell {
patient that has passed under hi
knife. He simply sliced off portion
of the flesh that had apparently alb
sorbed the poison. and, despite the as
sertion that no doctor swallows his owl
medicine, administered heroic doses o
powerful remedies to counteract tn
bane that had already passed into tn
! system. 1t was close call, and IN
